Health Q&A: July 25, 2016

Question : Hi! Had severe joint pains, Palindromic Arthritis. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Started using recommended products 1,5 years ago. Now: Much more energy, and the joints are almost never painful, just stiff! Blood tests still show "RA-factor". Can I cut the dosage/products? Just use Starter Pack? (I have used each month: 1 Starter Pack + 1 Osteo FX, 2 Plant Derived Minerals, 3 Selenium, 3 Sweet Eze, 2 EFA+, 4 Good Herbs Hypothalamus Support.)It's EXPENSIVE to import the products to Norway...

Question : Aloha Dr. G! I have yet another bit of drama with my dad's MD. My dad has been on kidney protocol for about 8 months. His MD just told him to discontinue as it was putting heavy metals and too much phospherous and potassium into his system. Labs last week showed low hemoglobin with continued low blood pressure. Is there documentation I can give this MD and my Dad to relieve his anxiety and get him back on track?

Question : Hi Dr. G. – Been reading the “medical medium” Anthony William - wondered if you heard of him and if so any thoughts on giving up all dairy for thyroid issues? Today was a flashback day - I have been experiencing irregular HB on and off and then it came on pretty strong about an hour ago and hasn’t let up. Any ideas besides ice, CM cream and stay sitting? Thanks Dr. G!

Question : My dear dr Glidden! This question is bit long because we agreed to reevaluate my whole protocol by now. Since I had my heart attack (and 2 stents) 1,5 year ago I have used Youngevity supplements and nothing else for 15 months. I have had no sign of trouble with my heart and vascular system. Pains in arms and shoulders, strong itching in anus and nose, restless legs, and hemorrhoids have disappeared. Ultra sound on my heart showed the same picture as a year ago - my heart functions generally ..

II generally fine after my attack .So I feel generally fine – except that 1) I still feel pain in my hands and 2) ultrasound and X-ray showed that I have two small gall stones – but no pain there. And 3) LDL cholesterol was 5.6 (but the test did not differentiate between hard and soft form of LDL).Do I need anything extra for these 3 problems , and should I change anything in my present protocol (being 70 years old and weighing 145 pounds)? Here it is:

III) 2 ounces of PDM a day.2 scoops of BTT powder a day.4 tablets of BTT tablets a day.9 EFA+ a day.9 Selenium a day.6 Ultimate Daily Classic a day.Half teaspoon 3 times a day of Good Herbs Heart’s Support.2 ounces of liquid Calcium.Much love from Inge (Norway)

I suppose olive oil is full of antioxidans. Why is not able to stop oxidicing?

Question: I'm a 50 year old male weighing 206 (down from 217 when I started). I started my Youngevity program on 6/08/2016. I recently had a follow-up visit with my doctor. These are the results from lab work on 7/15/2016. 18:49 Report - Result - Ref.- Range - Units - Status - Lab CHOLESTEROL, TOTAL - 275 -100-199 - MG/DL - Above High Normal- Final 01 TRIGLYCERIDES - 487 - 0-149 - MG/DL - Above High Normal Final 01 18:50 HDL CHOLESTEROL - 44 - >39 - MG/DL - Final 01 ACCORDING TO ATP-III GUIDELINES, HDL-C >59 MG/DL IS CONSIDERED A NEGATIVE RISK FACTOR FOR CHD. 18:51 VLDL CHOLESTEROL CAL - COMMENT - 5-40 - MG/DL - Final 01 - THE CALCULATION FOR THE VLDL CHOLESTEROL IS NOT VALID WHEN TRIGLYCERIDE LEVEL IS >400 MG/DL. 18:52 LDL CHOLESTEROL CALC - COMMENT - 0-99 - MG/DL - Final 01 - TRIGLYCERIDE RESULT INDICATED IS TOO HIGH FOR AN ACCURATE LDL GLUCOSE, SERUM - 100 - 65-99 - MG/DL -Above High Normal Final 01 18:53 ALT (SGPT) - 79 - 0-44 IU/L Above High Normal Final 01 This is a note from my MD based on my lab work: "His labs show that his sugars are at the upper limit of normal. His one liver function is bit elevated, but this is due to his very elevated cholesterol. His total is at 275 and should be <200. His HDL is fine, but his triglycerides are so high I don't know what his LDL is. When calculated his heart risk is quite elevated over baseline (5.7% vs. 2% at baseline). i feel he should go back on his cholesterol medication and then we should repeat this bloodwork in 3 mos." 'm taking the following: Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 4 Tbsp Daily Ultimate EFA Plus 6 Soft Gels Daily Beyond Osteo FX Liquid 2 Tbsp Daily Selenium 12 Capsules DailyPlant Derived Minerals 2 Tbsp Daily HGH Youth Complex 3 Capsules Daily Gluco-Gel Plus 2 Tbsp Daily Triple Treat Chocolate 2 Pieces Daily 18:54 FYI, I started taking the last 3 items on 7/12/2016. As for my diet, the house is clear of the 12 bad foods. Occasionally, I have had some items on the list when the family has gone out to dinner about once a week. I know that it takes time for the body to adjust and the numbers to settle down to a new normal. Based on my current numbers, do you have any suggestions about making any adjustments to my vitamins and minerals? I'm already going on the assumption that you're first piece of advice is to stop the 12 bad foods all together. Thanks, Tony

Question : Good evening. I have adrenal/thyroid problems. One of the most unsolved problems I have that no ND or chiro has been able to solve is getting extremely tired when drinking water and a lesser degree green tea which at least has a stimulant affect.
